The adorable and kooky survival game The Survivalists just got a new huge content update.
From the first moment I booted it up, I knew I was in for a treat. The Survivalists is the perfect survival game for anyone who is into the whole laid back genre.
The flow of the game is actually kinda relaxing, and the survival aspects aren’t too taxing. Not to mention that your primary assistant in the game can be a real life friend of yours, or a slew of monkeys that you have trained to do your bidding.
The Survivalists is the perfect survival game for everyone. My only gripe at launch was that the game seemed to be a bit lacking in content. Aside from focusing on endgame and hanging out with monkeys, there wasn’t much to do.
Since then, the developers have been working very hard to add more and more all the time. From farming to a difficulty increase on monkey catching (it was super simple), the developers have added much by way of content.
In the latest update, the developers are bringing a whole ton of new features and content, including new trinkets with the ability to equip up to four now. Not only that, there are four new NPC’s spread throughout the open world to offer quests for great loot. This is just a bit of what is in the update, so if you haven’t tried it yet, now is the perfect time. Check out the trailer below for more details.

The developers have made the farms much bigger in their silly and exciting survival game.
For those that may have missed it, The Survivalists is a small survival game that takes place in the Escapists universe. Only now you are stranded on a deserted island, and must find a way back to humanity. Resource, craft, hunt and construct to your hearts content. You can even train the local monkey population to give you a helping hand. This is one silly survival game that I have been enjoying very much on Switch.
If you haven’t tried it yet, the recent update may spark your interest. The developers have changed the crop cap from 64 to 512. Now we can have farms that are just as big as the huge communities that the game also lets you build with all locally sourced materials. The devs also added more shading to the crops, to make the farming just that much more immersive.

Thanks to Nintendo’s live-stream today of Indie World Showcase, we got to see some pretty exciting indie games coming in 2020. My favorite announcement was a new survival game set in the Escapists Universe: The Survivalists, created by Team17. You can play alone or in co-op with up to three friends and explore, build, and craft together! Survive the island, a procedurally generated sandbox world, on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam in 2020.
The best part about The Survivalists is that you can tame monkeys and have them help you with building or fighting off enemies! Managing these adorable monkey employees working for bananas properly will make all the difference in braving the wilderness! Also, look at the little monkeys with their little spears and coconuts. Look at ’em!
About The Survivalists
The island is alive! Your newfound home will change with day/night cycles as you explore and uncover its secrets. Hunt (or be hunted by!) animals for food and meet the local inhabitants, who aren’t necessarily pleased to see you. Get quests from a Mysterious Stranger or find them washed up on the shore. Prepare to trek into a procedurally generated wilderness, with a variety of biomes, for an adventure that’s unique to every player.
Build Together, Survive Together
Finding the perils of island life too much or just looking to share your building expertise with friends? The Survivalists has you covered! Complete joint adventures, gain loot, trade and ultimately survive together and as you and up to three fellow castaways explore an island paradise.
Monkey See, Monkey Do
If you’re in need of a builder, a lumberjack or even a soldier, the monkeys on the island can be tamed and trained to help you with everyday tasks or back you up on raids to a fanatic camp! The Mimic System means a wide variety of functions can be performed by your banana loving friends, with monkey management becoming key to surviving the island’s challenges.
Get Crafty
The secret to survival is to make the most of the resources around you. Whether that’s piecing together a primitive axe to chop wood or mixing up a refreshing fruit smoothie to keep the hunger at bay, you can discover recipes and expand your options across food, item or structure crafting trees.
Run the Gauntlet
Looking for an epic sword to hang on your hut wall or want to lay waste to encroaching hostiles? What you seek could be in one of the many temples scattered around the island. However, getting your hands on the loot won’t be easy so any would-be raiders will need to prepare for their treasure hunting crusade.
